I think we should add support for java:comp/DefaultDataSource since it's 
required by spec. Furthermore, this isn't essentially just JPA thing 
since such and injected/lookedup datasource could even be used in a 
non-JPA application.

As for aligning this with the JPA datasource setting, I don't fully 
understand the context. From what I understand, these two are different 
things.
